Foundations of Learning Theories
by
The content explores various aspects of learning, including different perspectives like psychological, educational, cognitive, behavioral, and social dimensions. It discusses the physiological and biological processes involved in learning, the role of neurons, synaptic plasticity, neurotransmitters, brain regions, and muscle memory. Additionally, it covers practical applications in career development, the relationship between intelligence and learning, the Flynn Effect, individual versus collective learning, and the importance of understanding how humans learn for personal and professional growth. The content also delves into learning theories, motivation, assessment in education, knowledge acquisition, social-emotional learning, ethical considerations, instructional technology, and the significance of assessment within a learning culture. Renowned authors such as Black, William, Bloom, Glaser, McMillan, and Shepard are referenced to provide a comprehensive understanding of learning and assessment in educational environments.
You can see all of our Education databases by visiting our Education Databases page.
I would recommend starting with the databases below:
Take advantage of our Interlibrary Services to get almost any article or book you need, even if our library does not have access. If you are a distance student you can even request books from the main campus and have them shipped to your home for free.
To request a book we do not own, an article we do not have access to, or a book from the main campus, simply log in to ILLiad using your SHSU credentials and fill out the appropriate form. Please be sure to verify your contact information and mailing address.
For more information, please visit our Interlibrary Loan page.
For introductory information and examples about APA citations, please view our APA Citations guide.
If you need access to the full style guide, Newton Gresham Library and SHSU-The Woodlands Center have print copies you can check out.
Other helpful resources include Purdue OWL and the APA Style Blog.
